"I have worked with Robert for about two years, since he entered the Axway team as an R&D manager. Since that time I have seen the major impact he had to the edition center. Our collaboration was centered mostly on quality control and sustaining population in Axway. Robert impressed me especially with his people oriented kind of management abilities. He manages transversally a global team of 150 people. Managing transversally may prove to be a difficult challenge, yet Robert succeeded perfectly, due to his strong emotional intelligence and leadership skills. He extended the QC team at Axway level, promoted global procedures and norms that proved to be clear, efficient and most of all adapted to the organization needs. This was also the case for the sustaining indicators and metrics, created as an executive tool for monitoring and that are now used worldwide inside Axway. As a colleague, any person feels
comfortable discussing with Robert, at all reporting levels. He leads by example, he is honest, direct and having to work with him means to work in a pleasant way, in a constructive manner that can only prove to be beneficial to the entire team."

" I have recruited Robert in 2009 and I was impressed at the time by his very positive attitude towards people and challenges. Since then we have worked together on HR related projects and I am still impressed by his huge capability of helping people to develop their skills and to find their inner motivation on the long run.He is one of those rare leaders able to build-up teams out of very different personalities and to conduct them towards succes and over-achieved goals.", November 2010"

"I am very happy to recommend Robert David. He has worked with and for me over the last few years, and I have found him to be an outstanding leader, as well as manager of people and projects in software. Robert brings great technical capabilities along with his leadership skills. Robert works very well with people, regardless of whether they are reporting to him or not. He has a very strong work ethic, and combines that with a drive to produce quality software and systems. When Robert is assigned to a project, large or small, he will give it the right amount of energy and focus. This is true no matter if he is interacting with upper managerment or a small group of engineers. He will also look to improve the processes, technologies and people who work with him. He is always striving for best in class in what he does. There is no doubt Robert is going to be successful in his endeavors due to all these traits."
— Mark O'Beirne, Director of Engineering, Freescale, managed Robert at Freescale
"I worked with Robert for almost 2 years when he was driving the Modem Software Tools organization in Freescale. I think Robert is one of the most visionary people I met and one of the few, which has the ability to turn vision into reality. I witnessed how he build the organization almost from scratch, by bringing together few small disparate teams, giving a clear direction, creating the identity and making the organization’s delivered products essential for the development of the entire phone software. I remember that period as one of the most challenging and fully successful and I remember Robert driving it."
— Viorel Serbu, Project Manager, Freescale Semiconductor, worked directly with Robert at Freescale
"Robert is a very skilled SW Manager that drives his team in a very positive and efficient manner. He keeps track of details as well as the holistic view. He has done an excellent job in the area of starting to establish and implement a tools strategy for the SW development within Freescale Semiconductor Cellular Products group"
— Niclas Almquist, Global SW Director, CPG, Freescale Semiconductor, managed Robert indirectly at Freescale
"I know Robert for 5 years now and currently I’m reporting to him. He is a highly dedicated professional, technically focused, very logical and realistic with planning and he knows very well how to motivate the team to achieve the work at its best. He has a lot experience in dealing with project related challenges and organizational dynamics. He is highly respected, as both a person and a professional, by colleagues, employees, and customers alike. It is an absolute pleasure being part of his team."
— Marius Rotaru, Senior Software Engineer, Freescale Semiconductor, reported to Robert at Freescale
"Robert is a great manager and a wonderful man in the same time. He tries to be very close to the team, to listen and to provide to every one the way to success. I appreciated to him the loyalty and the sincerity. I wish to have the chance to work again with him."
— Daniel Costin, SW Engineer, Freescale, reported to Robert at Freescale
"Robert is a talented manager with background in both embedded and host software development. Building on his experience, Robert developed strong project management skills. He has the ability to adapt easily and to approach new technical challenges, taking-over existing or building new teams to achieve the strategic objectives. Over the last years, Robert had the chance to gather a multi-cultural experience, integrating his team and achieving successes in global projects across Europe,
US and Asia."
— Radu Preda, SW Development Manager, WMSG Romania, Freescale Semiconductor, managed Robert at Freescale
"Robert was a key member of my team at Freescale Semiconductor. As a manager, Robert showed drive, focus, and determination. He dealt with difficult situations (lack of resources, competing demands, vague requirements) professionally and always kept his teams on schedule for delivery."
— Russell Priebe, Manager, Systems & Support, CPG SW, Freescale Semiconductor, managed Robert indirectly at Freescale
"We worked very closely on several demanding telecom/datacom development projects. He owns a great spirit and an unique approach to stressful situations, succeeding in both solving the problems and relaxing people around him at the same time. Highly recommended."
— Dan Badea, managed Robert at ITC Networks
"Robert is acting like a true professional! Robert was an example for the team, very skilled, and worked hard to improve not only the software we produced, but also the development environment. Robert is a real pleasure to work with, and I would recommend him anytime."
